Hello again eveybody just wanted to ask a question about me hand, I broke it last year not quite sure when but only had to have the pot on for about 3 weeks and it was only a tiny break. Every thing is fine now though and I can do everthing with it but I was just wondering if this will stop me going for infantry (which is what I'm going for) I really hope it does'nt cheers for reading lads.

Should'nt do mate, if you have full funcionality of it and can do everything you could before then you will be fine. Just don't mention it at your medical .

I'v had whats termed 'boxers fracture' couple of times in the past and also broke fingers. it wont stop you unless, as mentioned quite correctly in above post, you dont have full and correct function of the hand.
So you will be ok as long as your hands are not knarly shaped claws, or permanently fixed into a GI JOE kung fu type grip

Cheers lads feel so much better nar haha nah my hands are only in the kung fu grip when I'm in the ring WHA YA!!!!

Bloody hell Tom your an expert on everything, Im blown away with your levels of knowledge. What unit are you mate?

You know i'm not serving, unless it was sarcasm which I don't get. Was just re-typing a answer to a question that has been asked a few times before.

Thanks for the answer Tom.......

......and you answered your own question to boot! Awesome!

Also everytime I look at your avatar phot, it looks like you are about to give the fella in the background a chew???

Ha Ha doc thats ace!

it does look a bit precarious *spelling*

never noticed it before
I wouldn't lie/neglect to divulge conditions on the old medical though as it could come back and bite you right in the ass. which would more than likely lead to you being given the boot.
I think the worst that'll happen is your application could be delayed as the adsc would write to your gp for further information on it, that's if it was a concern for them.

I forgot to ask earlier, I was naughtly side tracked by the glare off of Toms awesome brain protruding through his head....

How do you know your hand has M.E.? Has it been diagnosed or did Tom tell you? (refer to title of thread for those needing a pointer)

Has he cum yet Tom?

Whats your problem? not like I told him anything wrong.

Well, you did kinda tell him not to mention on his medical a fracture which he had treated, PRESUMABLY by the NHS, which will therefore quite possibly feature on his medical records. If it does and he 'forgets' it, it hardly gives a good first impression and may well be sufficient to put a premature end to his application.

Although from what I've heard some fractures are more cause for worry than others, MSI mentioned something about having to keep a training diary for six months to show you're fit. Being your hand and over a year I'd hazard a guess that it won't matter a bit, but obviously I'm not a Doc (his next post might even give you a serious answer, but only if you're very very lucky ).

Thats what the wink smilley was for. It should be on his medical records anyway so the Doctor doing the medical would know.

I come baring chill pills, here feast every one feast!

In that case I retract my previous statement.

Doc yer Welsh twat, you got me all flushed over nought
